Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared by MicroVision, Inc. (“we” or “our”) and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position at March 31, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made and consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. You should read these Condensed Consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for the entire fiscal year.
We are developing lidar sensors and perception software to address the needs of the Level 2+, or L2+, and Level 3 or L3, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) markets to be used in automotive safety and autonomous driving applications. Our micro-electromechanical systems, or MEMS-based high-speed lidar sensors, which we call MAVIN™, use our pioneering laser beam scanning (LBS) technology. Our solution-based development approach recognizes two key realities of the L2+ and L3 markets: that safety is mission critical and that OEMs require cost efficiency and integration adaptability. With these factors in mind, we believe that our best-in-class MAVIN lidar sensors support critical safety needs by providing the highest resolution at range and velocity of moving objects with a dynamic field of view while running at 30 hertz, thus enabling ADAS features, such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency steering, at higher speeds of operation than most competing products.
We have incurred significant losses since inception. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants, the issuance of convertible debt and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues, product sales and licensing activities.
At March 31, 2024, we had total liquidity of $73.1 million including $44.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $28.8 million in short-term investment securities. Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MicroVision, Inc. and MicroVision GmbH. MicroVision GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroVision, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for our German operation is the Euro, which represents the currency of its primary economic environment. The results of operations for the German operation are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during each period. All assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period, with foreign currency translation adjustments included as a component of other comprehensive loss. All equity transactions and certain assets are translated using historical rates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
Segment Information
We determine operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. Our CODM is our Executive Management team, who reviews our operating results on a consolidated basis. We operate as one segment, which relates to sale and servicing of lidar hardware and software. The profitability of our product group is not a determining factor in allocating resources and the CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company.
2. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities, including common stock equivalents and convertible securities. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net loss per share because the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period, including options and warrants computed using the treasury stock method, is anti-dilutive.
The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except loss per share data):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss available for common shareholders - basic and diluted | $(26,313) | $(19,027) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted | 196,748 | 174,703 |
| Net loss per share - basic and diluted | $(0.13) | $(0.11) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we excluded the following securities from net loss per share as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive: outstanding options exercisable into a total of 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, and 9.2 million and 8.4 million nonvested restricted stock units, respectively.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On January 31, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain net assets of Ibeo, a lidar hardware and software provider based in Hamburg, Germany. The purpose of the acquisition was to acquire certain Ibeo assets, primarily intellectual property, and personnel, to enable us to expand our technology and product portfolio and diversify our revenue profile.
Total consideration related to this transaction was approximately EUR 20.0 million or $21.6 million, consisting of approximately (i) EUR 7.0 million or $7.6 million in cash paid at closing, (ii) EUR 6.6 million or $7.1 million in cash advanced to Ibeo prior to closing, (iii) EUR 3.0 million or $3.3 million released from escrow during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, (iv) EUR 0.6 million or $0.7 million in costs paid on behalf of the seller, and (v) EUR 2.7 million or approximately $3.0 million after calculating the deduction in purchase price agreed between both the parties. The remaining balance of approximately EUR 2.7 million is recorded as an accrued liability for Ibeo business combination on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and is expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2024. In addition, we incurred $0.6 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which were included in Sales, marketing, general and administrative expense.
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations for the acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition onwards.
The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
| Weighted Average | ||
|---|---|---|
| Amount | Useful Life (in years) | |
| Total purchase consideration | $21,611 | |
| Inventory | $1,197 | |
| Other current assets | 703 | |
| Operating lease right-of-use asset | 234 | |
| Property and equipment, net | 5,330 | |
| Intangible assets: | ||
| Acquired technology | 17,987 | 13 |
| Order backlog | 26 | 1 |
| Contract liabilities | (1,178) | |
| Operating lease liabilities | (234) | |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (785) | |
| Total identifiable net assets | $23,280 | |
| Bargain purchase gain(1) | (1,669) | |
| (1) | The bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the purchase consideration and is included in bargain purchase gain in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The bargain purchase gain was attributable to the negotiation process with Ibeo during its insolvency proceedings resulting in cash consideration paid being less than the fair value of the net assets acquired. |
The estimated fair value of acquired technology was calculated through the income approach using the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methodologies. The estimated fair value of the order backlog was calculated through the income approach using the multi-period excess earnings methodology.
4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The following is a description of principal activities from which we generate revenue. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
We evaluate contracts based on the 5-step model as stated in Topic 606 as follows: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.
A contract contains a promise (or promises) to transfer goods or services to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise (or a group of promises) that is distinct, as defined in the revenue standard.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration an entity expects to be entitled to from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. A number of factors should be considered to determine the transaction price, including whether there is variable consideration, a significant financing component, noncash consideration, or amounts payable to the customer. The determination of variable consideration will require a significant amount of judgment. In estimating the transaction price we will use either the expected value method or the most likely amount method.
The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices. Determining the relative standalone selling price can be challenging when goods or services are not sold on a standalone basis. The revenue standard sets out several methods that can be used to estimate a standalone selling price when one is not directly observable. Allocating discounts and variable consideration must also be considered. Allocating the transaction price can require significant judgement on our part.
Revenue is recognized when (or as) the customer obtains control of the good or service/performance obligations are satisfied. Topic 606 provides guidance to help determine if a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over time. Where a performance obligation is satisfied over time, the related revenue is also recognized over time.
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by timing of revenue recognition (in thousands):
| Product · License and Royalty · Contract | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| revenue | revenue | revenue | Total | |
| Timing of revenue recognition: | ||||
| Products transferred at a point in time | $856 | $47 | $53 | $956 |

| Product and services transferred over time | - | - | 192 | 192 | ||
| Total | $590 | $ | - | $192 | $782 | |
Contract balances
Under Topic 606, our rights to consideration are presented separately depending on whether those rights are conditional or unconditional. We present our unconditional rights to consideration as “accounts receivable” in our Balance Sheet.
Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
| March 31, · December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | $ Change | % Change | |
| Contract assets | $1,121 | $949 | $172 | 18.1 |
| Contract liabilities | (213) | (300) | 87 | (29.0) |
| Net contract assets (liabilities) | $908 | $649 | $259 | 39.9 |
Contract acquisition costs
We are required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed. We currently do not pay any commissions upon the signing of a contract; therefore, no commission cost has been incurred as of March 31, 2024.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The remaining balance of the contract liabilities was approximately $0.2 million as of March 31, 2024. The following table provides information about the estimated timing of revenue recognition (in thousands):

5. INVESTMENT SECURITIES, AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our investment securities, available-for-sale are comprised of corporate and government debt securities. The principal markets for the debt securities are dealer markets which have a high level of price transparency. The market participants for debt securities are typically large money center banks and regional banks, brokers, dealers, pension funds, and other entities with debt investment portfolios.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three level fair value inputs hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable valuation inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use market data, assumptions and risks we believe market participants would use in measuring the fair value of the asset or liability, including the risks inherent in the inputs and the valuation techniques. The hierarchy is summarized below.
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the measurement date that the reporting entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions, which are significant to the measurement of the fair values.
The valuation inputs hierarchy classification for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands). These tables do not include cash held in our money market savings accounts.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents and investment securities. As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents are comprised of operating checking accounts and short-term highly rated money market savings accounts. Our short-term investments are comprised of highly rated corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities.
Concentration of major customers and suppliers
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, a major global commercial trucking OEM accounted for $0.5 million in revenue, representing 52% of our total revenue, and a leading supplier of agricultural equipment manufacturer accounted for $0.3 million in revenue, representing 33% of our total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, one commercial customer accounted for $0.4 million in revenue, representing 46% of our total revenue, a second commercial customer accounted for $0.2 million in revenue, representing 24% of our total revenue, and a third commercial customer accounted for $0.08 million in revenue, representing 10% of our total revenue.
Typically, a significant concentration of our components and the products we have sold are manufactured and obtained from single or limited-source suppliers. The loss of any single or limited-source supplier, the failure of any of these suppliers to perform as expected, or the disruption in the supply chain of components from these suppliers could subject us to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, increased cost of sales, possible loss of revenues, or significant delays in product development or product deliveries, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
7. FINANCIAL STATEMENT COMPONENTS
The following financial statement components have significant balances as of March 31, 2024.
Restricted Cash
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Restricted cash, current decreased by $3.3 million as that amount was released from escrow in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Ibeo. In addition, Restricted cash, net of current portion increased by approximately $1.0 million related to cash that is held as collateral for a Hamburg, Germany lease.
Inventory

| Work in process | - | 305 |
| Finished goods | 2,029 | 1,995 |
| Total inventory | $3,738 | $3,874 |
Inventory is computed using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Management periodically assesses the need to account for obsolescence of inventory and adjusts the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value when required.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment consists of the following:

8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We issue share-based compensation to employees in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs) and stock options. We account for the share-based awards by recognizing the fair value of share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of RSUs and non-executive PSUs is determined by the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Changes in estimated inputs or using other option valuation methods may result in materially different option values and share-based compensation expense.
The following table summarizes the amount of share-based compensation expense by line item on the statements of operations:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| Share-based compensation expense | March 31, | |

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we issued 34,000 shares to non-executive employees for new hire grants. These shares were valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the dates of grant and vest over three or four years.
As of March 31, 2024, our unrecognized share-based compensation related to RSUs was $3.3 million, which we plan to expense over the next 2.0 years, our unrecognized share-based compensation related to executive PSUs was $4.4 million, which we plan to expense over the next 1.6 years, and our unrecognized share-based compensation related to the non-executive PSUs was $2.0 million, which we plan to expense over the next 1.0 years.
9. LEASES
We lease our office space and certain equipment under finance and operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years. Our office lease agreement includes both lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. Our finance leases contain options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless we are reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option.
In September 2021, we entered into an office lease with Redmond East Office Park LLC, a Washington limited liability company, pursuant to which we will lease approximately 16,681 square feet of space located in Redmond, Washington that we will use primarily for general office space and product testing. The lease provides for an initial term of 128 months that commenced November 1, 2021. Pursuant to the lease, annual base rent was approximately $0.5 million for the first year and is subject to annual increases of 3.0%. In addition to base rent, we pay additional rent comprised of our proportionate share of any operating expenses, real estate taxes, and management fees. We have the option to extend the term for one ten-year renewal period, provided that the rent would be subject to market adjustment at the beginning of the renewal term. The total minimum lease payments related to this lease is $6.4 million.
In September 2021, we entered into a second office lease with Redmond East Office Park LLC, pursuant to which we will lease approximately 36,062 square feet of space located in Redmond, Washington that we will use primarily for product testing and lab space. The lease provides for an initial term of 120 months that commenced on December 1, 2022. Pursuant to the lease, annual base rent will be approximately $1.1 million for the first year and is subject to annual increases of 3.0%. In addition to base rent, we will pay additional rent comprised of our proportionate share of any operating expenses, real estate taxes, and management fees. We have the option to extend the term for one ten-year renewal period, provided that the rent would be subject to market adjustment at the beginning of the renewal term. The total minimum lease payments related to this lease are $13.0 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we received a payment of $3.0 million as an incentive to terminate our previous building lease.
